Kenyan content creator Christine Irungu, popularly known as Kris Baby, has celebrated her 28th birthday while reflecting on the experiences that shaped her past year.
Kris Baby marked the milestone on Wednesday, September 30, looking back on her 27th year, which brought both difficult moments and unexpected blessings.
She described the year as a period of healing and personal growth before welcoming her first child.
“27 was definitely a year. A little bit of breaking, a lot of healing, and blessings I never saw coming,” she said.
The content creator added that she sometimes felt as though she was losing things, only to later realise that she had gained much more.
“I thought I was losing so much, only to realise God was giving me so much more,” she said.
Kris Baby on becoming a mother
One of the biggest changes in Kris Baby’s life was becoming a mother.
She welcomed her son in December 2025 and described his arrival as one of the greatest blessings of the year.
Kris Baby also credited her faith and the people around her for helping her navigate the changes she experienced.
“God has been faithful through it all. I’ve learnt that I’m stronger than I give myself credit for, and that I’m surrounded by so much love,” she said.
She ended her birthday message with a playful reference to her new age, writing, “Here’s to 20-ATE.”
Kris Baby had previously spoken about her desire to become a mother by the age of 28.
During an interview in January 2026, she said having a child was a goal she had set for herself.
“I have always said that I want a kid by 28, and I am turning 28 this year,” she said.
After giving birth, Kris Baby initially kept her son away from the public as she adjusted to motherhood.
She later introduced him as Jojo, also referring to him as “the mjunia.”
The content creator has said that although she shares parts of her life online, she prefers to keep some aspects of her family life private.
